Qatar shopping in the USA. He bought for $ 1.2 trillion + 400 million for a plane for Trump?

US President Donald Trump signed a series of commercial agreements with this country on Wednesday in Qatar with at least $ 1.2 trillion – the White House said. Among them is a record order through a runny nose up to 210 787 and 777x Boeing aircraft, MQ-9 drones, as well as antimiconum systems and other weapons.

The contracts were signed after Trump's meeting with Emir of Qatar, Tamim Ibn Hamad Al-Sanim. According to the White House, they include, among others The largest order of Boeing aircraft in history, up to 210 Dreamliners 787 and 777x for $ 96 billion, as well as contracts with a number of other American companies for investments in the field of critical infrastructure, LNG and defense. Qatar also purchased MQ-9B drones for $ 2 billion and Raytheon FS-LIDS anti-leveles systems for 1 billion.

Both parties also signed a letter of intent regarding potential defense investments of $ 38 billion.

According to the White House, all signed documents are to “generate an economic exchange worth at least $ 1.2 trillion”.

“I think that after signing these documents we will go to a different level of relationship between Qatar and the United States,” said the monarchy leader.

As Trump said after the meeting, in addition to commercial issues, the leaders also talked, among others About the war in Ukraine. Trump added that he soon expected good results from the upcoming negotiations in Turkey.

So far, the gift of a runny nose for the president in the form of a luxurious Jumbo Jet worth $ 400 million, which would serve as Air Force One, has not been announced so far. Trump has repeatedly defended the potential decision to accept a gift in recent days, claiming that only someone stupid would refuse such a gift. On Wednesday, a spokeswoman for the White House Karoline Leavitt said that the plane would not be given to Trump but the US Air Force, although according to reports he would have been transferred to his foundation at the end of Trump's presidency. The case also aroused controversy among a significant part of the Republicans in Congress, among others For security reasons, as well as doubts whether the adoption of such a gift would be in line with the constitution.
